Stacy, your first Sizixx Do's and Don't class is what got me excited about Sizixx and card making. I had to buy the machine and tools and of course the dies!! The year before last I made Christmas cards for my Family and had a lot of fun doing it. Covid hasn't been that hard for me personally, because I just go in my crafty space and create. Thanks Stacy for taking the time to do such a great class! 🤗

[@jenniferolson1449]

Your original Do's and Don't Big Shot video is how I came across your channel years ago! Now I look forward to your videos every week!

[@ellenherrmann3343]

Dear Stacey, You do such an excellent job of explaining how to do all the different things you can do with the Big Shot. You are so thorough and patient in instructing us how to use it properly. I've used mine for several years but absolutely enjoined this refresher course. The Dept. of Licensing should have you do a refresher course for drivers. Ha!

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I watched the whole video twice! So much quality information! Thanks!

[@charlottevanstraten339]

I agree: to teach. That is why I love watching you. Even if I am too poor. I can apply the techniques to the supplies I already have and dream about the ones I do not have! I like the concepts. Thanks Stacey👏👏👏👏

[@ritabrown6569]

Thanks Stacy...Love your videos. Your fab-bu--lous!! Vintage Lady Cincinnati

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

I got the standard machine many years ago and a couple of years ago I was given the plus machine as a gift! I have to admit that I still use the standard one the most often!

[@janesprando3638]

This is one o the best KZbins on using the Big Shot and the various ways to use it!

[@nancywlawson7352]

The best instructions on the Sizzix Machines I have ever seen. Thanks for showing me how much I can do with my Sizzix that I have had for years.

[@ardisholt2442]

Hi, Stacy. I really enjoy watching your you tube classes. I have been paper crafting for about 15 years. I always find something I can use in my crafting. I think sometimes the smallest tips are the most useful. Also like your products and the samples that your staff makes. You have some really talented people working for you. I admire you for hanging in there in spite of all you have been thru, not only in your personal life as well as your business in this difficult time. Thank you again!!💞

[@carib5870]

I shopped the Warehouse sale yesterday and filled my cart with goodies, but when I clicked "check out" all my stuff was gone. SO SAD :-( I had watched the terms and conditions so I knew my cart wasn't saving, but I wasn't holding them for later--I literally shopped and then clicked purchase. I decided that I can't shop it again because it wasted so much time to shop and then not be able to purchase which instead of making my heart happy it just made it so very sad. So I've decided that I will just keep enjoying Stacy's videos!

[@mamaduck5981]

Good morning Stacey! The best part of the weekend is here with you. My 93 year old mother, Cory, loves to listen to you laugh, it makes her day happier. Whenever I watch any other instruction video she looks for you. I guess your my moms favorite

[@michellerickard1290]

Thanks for all the reminders and hints for the newer items. Have a Fantastic week.

[@maryvillegas6556]

This video is well worth saving. Unless I’m constantly, embossing, die cutting every day, I forget. Luv this dedicated to using Big Shot. As always, I learn, learn. Thanks.

[@darleefrye9268]

Long video. But definitely a good refresher. I have an hour to go. I hope you cover knock knock and squishy, as well as embossing folders. Thanks, Stacey, for taking the time to explain these things.

[@blakescovers5131]

Thanks for making a two and a half hour long ad. You must be a wonderful person...

[@carolpope1145]

I have both the small and plus machines but i am always ready to hear new and old things of the do’s and don’t’s.. Love and still use both. My first was the black with pink. I still love that machine with the flower that has some bling on it. Lol that was many years ago. I listened to your old do’s and don’t’s. I think I started watching you when you were at about number sixty u tube.

[@terrie1226]

congrats on those who will be buying them and hope you enjoy it......Thanks Stacey for helping those who need to do's and don't for this product...... Hope to see you on next week video.... be safe and stay healthy

[@cindymoreno6333]

nice job. I have seen several of your big shot videos before but having all information in one is great. Nice refresher for me. thanks again Stacey.

[@patriciascoble9680]

How weird is this, I have been going through your videos for a class you did on Big Shot machines. I stopped to watch today,s class and here you are giving all the info I was after plus more. Thanks Stacey now off to try it all out.

[@mindygmagic]

Love the explanation of the squishy and the knock knock,, can't wait to play

[@robertahicks3015]

I have had a Big Shot machine for a long time, but still enjoyed this video. A refresher course is always a good thing! Have a great day!

[@jacquiford5066]

Thankyou Stacy for the sale had loads of fun

[@BarbaraHolmes99]

When your having fun while learning it does not seem like it's two hours! Great job Stacey!

[@vabchgal1]

I love your tutorials. I think you are honest.

[@dmatt6266]

I have had a big shot from waaaay back and it is still going strong! I still love my little embosslits!! You never know what size of a die you will need so they come in handy for a little embellishment. I also agree with you about the small cutting plates coming with the long cutting pad. When I first saw this I thought it was a mistake. I have had the long extension platform and cutting plates for many years as I have many of the 12" long foam dies and still use them. To me this was so much easier than picking paper out of tiny places. In fact I still use the old narrow plates with my small sidekick. Tools like these should never go out of style. There are always newbies just starting out in papercrafting that would love them too. So, thank you another wonderful video and thank you to Sizzix for producing wonderful products all these years!

[@monicalinerode1783]

Great to have a review on all the Sizzix machines. Thanks for taking the time to do this class. Also it’s been a surprise to receive a free gift in my orders. Thank you for the gifts. They’ll be put to good use.

[@ednam7]

Wish I'd have seen this before I got my first Big Shot. Very helpful to people just learning. So I've used all of these dies and still have them. And I learned as I went. Love the Precision base plate and use it a lot. Learned one thing, to not use the precision plate with the plus or fold away. Good things to know. Thanks for showing us how to use everything. Long but worth-wild.

[@andreamcclelland3152]

Another Grand Slam out of the park, Stacey! Thank you so very much as a 25 year veteran of card making, I LOVE Stacey's sharing of tools I've had for years that I am more excited as well as now able to use BETTER!!!!! Love you so much!!!

[@sherrylshelton2976]

I love all Sizzix Products! These bundles are the best deal for those starting out. This is a really good video for those just starting and reminders for those that may have forgotten. Thank you Stacey.

[@conniewilliams9622]

I love that you did an update on the bigshot and more. I have all the old stuff and the new stuff too. Had forgotten all the good stuff I already have. I always look forward to Sat. for your classes. Thanks for all you do.

[@karengreig7013]

Yep I have been crafting forever/older than dirt crafter LOL. Just want to thank you for the refesher on the Big Shot machines......you reminded me of things I forgot!

[@marcellachavez7153]

Love.... love... these types of classes. Thanks for the generosity of your time! 🤗

[@duffersqb]

Liked it so much, again, and again and again!....it is a great. Aching!

[@deidragrant556]

A must see video, thank you, Stacey!

[@angelajennings9401]

I just love how beautiful and simply you explain everything. Love listening to you. And thank you x

[@rubyc1287]

Love your lessons on using the Sizzix machines and all the options we have with it and all the fun dies. I so appreciate your techniques.

[@julian260674]

Belive im so happy just when you smile talk or smile you re amazing but i tell you this with so much respect , greetings from Mexico

[@leesahunter2489]

Great explanations on what each of the machines have to offer. And another Wahoo Katchoo sale. Thank You

[@dorasanchez5075]

Hello Stacey thank you. I learned the best way to cut and embossed with less struggle without flipping my die.

[@booboo8115]

I can’t wait for this....My new Big Shot arrives on Friday!! This class is definitely FOR ME❣️❣️❣️

[@sharonb.7867]

Congrats to you! I am sure Stacey's class qill be amazing and you will LOVE your Big Shot!!

[@janesprando3638]

Victoria Schwentner You will have so much fun!

[@kristiquinn8152]

Thanks for all the big shot tips!

[@fairythere]

Thank you so much for providing an invaluable resource for all of us paper crafters! You make learning fun!

[@stormyswann6177]

I watched this a year ago and bought the big shot. This is fantastic to now (re) learn so much. Thank you

[@wandaharris2875]

A great informational video. Definitely one to mark for future reference. Thanks Stacey!

[@Stahlmaks]

Really great video!! Thank you for demonstrating ALL the different things that work with the Big Shots!! I have gotten some of the older die cuts and have played a little but now I can do so more confidently!! Also, thank you for making it 1 video!! Yes, I had to split it up, but that's not a big deal!! Really appreciate your love and compassion for what you do!! You're fun to watch and truly give me the energy & motivation to get going with my crafting :) Blessings to you and your team!!

[@sarahbrown8530]

Hello Stacey I so appreciate you doing this KZbin it’s great to get a refresher in dos and don’ts

[@lharvey55]

I bought my big shot after watching one of your previous you tube classes - living in Australia there are so many things that we can’t get (wax paper being one!) and easy access to scrapbook supplies at a reasonable price - so I have to be content watching your wonderful you tubes and being envious - thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and brightening my day .

[@paulinesharp6973]

Thank you so much for such an informative KZbin, it's great to remind us how the machines and products work, stay safe, xxx

[@barbejacob9196]

I fell asleep during the KZbin but not because you were boring Stacey. I'ts just that I am 81 yrs old. And I can go back and watch it when I can stay awake. Yea luv ya. Barbe

[@lolarogers8530]

I've had my Big Kick (same as a Big Shot) for some time now but love that you continue to do updated Do's and Dont's so it incorporates changes that have occured. Newer buyers will have a new platform with their machine so your experience with what works and doesn't work provides much needed guidance. Nothing more frustrating than searching for how to videos and no one has an updated version using the newer tools.

[@lisamiller6543]

Wow! Such a great class... Great review and I learned some things I did not know! 😎

[@veemsee3230]

I am so glad you explained the vernacular "knock-knock"! Couldn't figure out why and how it got it's name. Also, explaining that the squishy and knock-knock replaced the do not cut plate helped me understand the sandwich so much better. Thank you.

[@karenhart8134]

Hi there!! Love that smile look forward to it every sat. You just brighten my Saturdays!!

[@susanjohnson318]

Agreed!

[@scappshill1]

Do and Don't was great!!!

[@veaannahooker1139]

The gingerbread embossing folder would be adorable with a sheet of red chocolate box paper. After sanding, it would look like gingerbread decorated in red!

[@tessiesplett7641]

Always love your does and don’t class. You are the person that taught me everything when I first started.

[@finin4025]

I so love 💕 n enjoy your tutoring today. This is a must save video 😍💕💕💕💕

[@sandiaruiz7334]

Hi Stacey!!! Happy Saturday and Warehouse sale!!!!

[@NDCo8811]

[@gwenburns6011]

Love when you teach this class. I always learn something new and things sink in that didn't previously. Thank you!!!

[@fazestorm4441]

I have to tell you this particular class was really informative and very hopeful that it was it's been awfully long bless your heart

[@sardiuspetersen]

Thank you for a long class. My husband died last Saturday and I’m so sad and lonely. I really needed the distraction . He used to always watch your class with me, so there were tears but there were moments when I could breath too. We were married for 31 years 💔

[@nydiasegal6596]

Thank you. What a wonderful teacher you are. Excellent review and comparison of older and newer accessories.

[@603kimcrafts9]

I bought my first Big Kick machine about 19 years ago. I’m now up to one of each of the non-electric machines from Sizzix with the most recent addition of a pro this spring. You’re right, they are work horses! Fantastic video, you are such a good teacher.

[@lindadavis1087]

This was the first of your videos I’ve watched. I enjoyed it sooo much even though I’ve had die cutting machines for years. I laughed and laughed. And, I watched it from start to finish without a break. What a great way to spend two and a half hours! Thank you for being so entertaining.

[@MandyM_81]

Love my Big Shot...it is a workhorse! So many great tips! Embossing folders are instant gratification! Love them!

[@beckyshinlever5142]

I love the way you teach. You do not leave out a thing and make some of the same mistakes I do. I do not even mind the length of them it takes what it takes to explain it. I like knowing all the ins and outs from the beginning. Thank you.

[@darlene2861]

Thanks you Stacey for the refresher. I love my Sizzix machine.

[@sharonjames762]

I have a Cut N Boss. Used it for years and still learned things in this video.

[@greetingsinbraille.]

Thanks for the class. You were my first instructor starting out 4 years ago. Watched most of your videos. We love your laugh. 😆

[@susiecomi7774]

This was a marathon class, and so full of information! Thank you Stacey♥️

[@donnagearing2156]

Its always great to revisit the way things are done on the die cutting techniques . Thanks I needed a brush up on them.

[@ninadowlin4938]

Thank you! You've given me confirmation that my standard "Big Shot" is the right machine for me. Plus lots of technique ideas!

[@thefaelix]

great work as always, Stacey. And your honesty regarding products and packaging is the best.

[@judiwerner6259]

I have had MY Big Shot Plus for several years, and also find that it is my go-to machine. Neat trick about putting packing tape on those older dies! I’m headed to my craft room to dig mine out to tape them! While there, I will also look with renewed eyes at my steel rule dies. Thank you for a super informative reference video that I’m sure I will rewatch through the years to refresh my memory.

[@marykettler8455]

I have the Sizzix Vintaj Big Shot machine. I got it to be able to emboss metal blanks. Now I can use it for my card making too.Wow! I am so glad I found your Scrapbooking Made Simple KZbin channel. I have a couple of orders in and am patiently awaiting their arrival. Thank you Stacey for your fun and informative Classes I watched this great video in segments and finished it this morning from 5:00- 6:15am. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.💙💙💙💙😊😊😊😊!!!!

[@sharimain7345]

Very informative....love all the options! I am on my second big shot...working towards the electric one! lol...love it..can't do without it!

[@g3719]

I love to watch your do's and don'ts reminds me of things I have forgotten

[@terrydowdy9501]

so busy with the garden right now,,, will get back to crafting when it slows down but thanks for all the info that will be here to watch again later.

[@debbiemckelvey9754]

What a great class on the different Sizzix machines and tools. I have the Vagabond because of my RA and I love it. I learned a few things I didn't know and a great refresher for the things I did. Thanks for always giving us your honest opinion on products. That is one reason I watch your KZbin channel because I know it comes from the heart.

[@lynneb9946]

Good video for those new to die cutting. You can tell I am an oldie- I have steel rule dies, sizzlits, embosslits, squissy, knock-knock, emboss & cut folders, you name it.

[@jimker155]

I always look forward to this video for a refresher. I go back multiple times a year because I’ve forgotten some tidbit or another. Thanks, Stacey!!!!

[@earlinekeepingitreal]

Stacey love this tutorial have a Sizzix machine love it so much to learn

[@denisefonda2815]

The warehouse sale has some great items. Thank You

[@lauravance8261]

What wonderful information. A great sale!

[@gailwinkelman6591]

I finally can use my knock knock and squishy! I bought them a while back but then forgot why! Thanks so much for all your work to teach us new techniques!

[@shawnf648]

Congratulations ladies, I have been relaxing in a rather nice size kids Blow up pool, seeing were trying to stay home as much as possible, I am back from a much-needed healing process after the unexpected death of my almost 3 yr old passed away, I am glad to start crafting again. So I am on my way to the Warehouse SALE!!!

[@wordscrafter]

I'm one of the newer die cutters (about 2 years or so) and I learned lots of things! Thanks so much for putting this together!!! 'Since dirt' cracked me up. You're a treasure. I've already placed 2 orders, lol. I may come back for third! Thanks so much for all you do - instruction, bringing products to us, all of it. Just thanks. XOXO

[@debraarnold2959]

What a great refresher course. I did not realize you are not to use the precision base plate with the big shot plus. However, after using it for an extended period, I went back the the original big shot because I usually do not need that extra size plate. Now it just waits in the closet for those occasional times it is needed.

[@constanzaortuzar2066]

It is my third time that I see this video where you teach how to use the big shot and as always I learned something new. Thank you

[@jinkiedog8824]

Stacy, another great class. I totally enjoyed it and a refresher on the Big Shot is always good. I either learn something new from you, or you remind me what may have forgotten. Big Hugs! Stay Safe and Healthy!!

[@sueintveld3719]

Great reminders on how to use the Sizzix die cutting machines! We can always learn something new or remember something we had forgotten!

[@edithjacinto8363]

Wonderful class- lots of good information & tips

[@brendagentry5099]

I will stick with you for however long your KZbins classes are. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and just being you!!! Thank you for bringing us SMS!!! We love you❤️

[@cdneal6909]

what a great refresher. loved it.

[@cindymccabe6000]

I watched until the very end. Thanks for reminding me important facts about my big shot. It can be confusing when you don’t use it every day. Love your love for crafting.

[@nancyloomis3046]

I have 3 Sizzix machines...they are all made very well. One of them is the Big Shot Pro...yes, it is built like a tank and weighs that much too 😆 I don’t really use mine anymore and bought it when I was into quilting. I may sell it. It is an excellent machine for quilters, but for paper crafting too. I put it to the test one time....the claim was that it could cut up to 12 layers of 100% quilting cotton. So I put 12 layers of cotton in and it cut every last edge! I don’t think I even had to make a 2nd pass. Now, I had to use all my strength to get it through and it was hard, but it worked and it didn’t do any damage to the machine! I also have an older Sidekick, one of the red ones and then a Vagabond that Ive had for about 5 years. I love the Vagabond and it held up pretty good until about 6 months ago...the motor wouldn’t completely send the die through...it would start to send the platform through and then it would just roll around and around & nothing would go through. I did get things stuck in a number of times by putting something through that would put a strain on the motor, so I’m probably to blame. But otherwise, it gave me a lot of good service.😁 For now, I have a Evolution Advanced...one of those where you can adjust the pressure. It’s pretty good, but I still prefer Sizzix.

[@FeleciaJohns]

Thank you for guiding us through the World of Wonder- Sizzix Machines.

[@csthankful]

Thanks for showing adding package tape to the original Sizzix dies. I have some and never knew to do that! Thanks, Stacey!

[@elisebb8423]

Thank you, Stacey! You are the best!!! I bought a Big Shot machine a few years ago because of your recommendation, and thoroughly enjoy it! Yes, it is a work horse that I use almost daily!
